Yes, I am sponsoring children as well. I had ordered the notes a couple of weeks ago, but then got an email saying my wife needed to fill out a consent form. The consent form got emailed off yesterday. So hopefully in a few weeks we can see what's happening.

Her medical is set to expire in a few weeks. And in mid May, we will be at a year. At that point, I plan to involve my MP to try to figure out where the delay lies. So much for Trudeau's promise of expedited family reunification.
I know its a lot more complicated when children are being sponsored as well which is normal protocol. For the family reunification promise that was only set out for parents abroad and spouses i think the protocol is the same for children. But i believe theyre usually good with trying to fit the time in according to medical! Maybe contact your MP now to let them know your medical will expire give them the heads up so they can start looking into it.

My application is still being processed (I'm a December 2016 applicant) but I already attended GCP a year ago and already got a certificate from CFO. We were then told that once we (or, I) have a visa, all we have to do is exactly what I just mentioned to you earlier :)
what if she lost her receipt that she got ? will she need to redo the whole cfo guidance and counseling ? and what does not make sense the website makes the pdos and GCP totally different things and has to be attended. and from what i can understand you have to attend both of those to be able to leave ..... this whole process is stressing me out

Like may mali sa name mo?GCP for spouse na asawa ay citizens/foreign nationals. PDOS for spouse na ang asawa ay Pinoy pa rin. Isa lang sa dalawa ang kailangan attendan. Kung nawala na ang receipt, baka pwede makapakiusapan na certificate na lang ang pakita para makuha ang sticker.
English please :)

I think the important thing is the Certificate. It's a solid proof that she already attended the counselling program. I mentioned receipt because my batch mate at CFO last year who already left for Canada early this month, told me that when she went back to CFO for the sticker on her passport, she was also asked for the payment receipt. The COPR, aside from your wife's passport and CFO Certificate, is very important :)

prvc said:
Haha. GCP is for applicants whose spouses are Foreign Nationals/Citizens. PDOS is for applicants whose spouses are still Filipino Citizens. She doesn't have to attend both. If you're a Canadian Citizen already then your wife only has to attend the GCP. Just show the certificate if the receipt cannot be found anymore.
thank you very much, and for added info. we have conditional 51 yuck lol.. even tho we will be in a relationship for 3 years this august. and also they spelled my last name wrong on her copr . my wife is fine. but just the sponsor last name even tho we have same name...it's the same spelling mistaken they did when i got sponsor approval and i wrote to them several times to correct it and they said it was added to the file but i guess they never corrected my last name in the system ...hoping it doesn't bar her from landing in canada because they got the sponsors part of the last name wrong

What is Condition 51? Any relation to Area 51? I'll be honest, this all does feel like the Twilight Zone...so it would make sense.

Naiisip ko baka ung sa Middle initial, kac lahat ng documents ko like marriage cert, BC andun ung Middle Initial Name pero dun sa form di ko ata nailagay kase wla naman ako makita dun na option na pede ilagay yun. Kaya ang sinulat ko yung First Name and Last Name ko lng.
